Roraima is a Brazilian state located in the northern portion of the Amazon basin, with few studies regarding its biodiversity. The Ecological Station of Maracá (Brazil, state of Roraima) harbors the third largest Brazilian pluvial island and is composed of a transitional landscape of savanna and Amazon rainforest components. Despite its ecological importance and strategic localization, few studies covered the dipterofauna of this locality. An updated checklist addressing 41 families of true flies (Diptera) occurring in Roraima is presented based on the literature and the specimens collected during a field expedition that occurred in 2015. This checklist brings several improvements such as new records of 165 taxa to the state of Roraima, 29 taxa to Brazil, and 259 morphotypes, mostly likely representing undescribed species.(AU)

Bombyliidae is one of the largest Diptera families with more than 4,500 worldwide species. Their species vary from robust to thin, and may be small to large (2-20 mm) and looks like bees or wasps. Adults can often be seen either resting and sunning themselves on trails, rocks or twigs or feeding on flowering plants as they are nectar feeders. All known larvae of bee flies are predators or parasitoids of arthropods. The Brazilian fauna of bombyliids comprises at the moment 110 species of which 12 have been recorded to the state of Mato Grosso do Sul.(AU)
Bombyliidae é uma das maiores famílias de Diptera com mais de 4.500 espécies conhecidas em todo o mundo. Suas espécies variam de robustas a delgadas e podem ser de diminutas a muito grandes (2-20 mm) e parecem abelhas ou vespas. Adultos são comumente avistados pousados ou tomando sol em trilhas, pedras ou galhos, ou ainda se alimentando de néctar em flores. Todas as larvas conhecidas de Bombyliidae são predadoras ou parasitoides de artrópodes. A fauna brasileira de Bombyliidae compreende, até o momento, 110 espécies das quais 12 possuem registro assinalado para o estado do Mato Grosso do Sul.(AU)
